Milla Jovovich is a Ukrainian-born American actress, model, and musician. She is known for starring in the Resident Evil films.

Milla was born in Kiev, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now in Ukraine). Her father, Bogic Bogdanovic Jovovic, is Serbian or Montenegrin-Serbian. Her mother, Galina Loginova, is a Russian actress. Milla once described herself as “Russian and Montenegrin”. Her family moved to Sacramento, California, in the early 1980s. Milla is married to director Paul W. S. Anderson, with whom she has two children.

Milla’s paternal grandfather was Bogdan Jovović (the son of Bogić Camić Jovović and Milica).

Milla’s maternal grandfather was Alexander (or Mikhail) Vasilevich Loginov (the son of Vasily Loginov). Alexander was originally from the Tula region, Russia.

Milla’s maternal grandmother was Tatiana Ivanovna Popova (the daughter of Ivan Popov). Tatiana was originally from Tula.

“Montenegrin” is no ethnicity. You may have Montenegrin-Serbian, or Montenegrin-Albanian (in the same right as e.g. Swiss-German, Swiss-French, or Swiss-Italian, but no “Swiss” on its own). Montenegrins have only become a “separate nation” under the geopolitical manipulation of Communist Yugoslav government, but that is a wholly another story, related to politics, rather than cultural or ethnic heritage. Even the former ruling dynasty of Montenegro, the Petrovic-Njegos, claimed they (along with all the Montenegrins) were of Serbian descent.

Maybe this Twitter shit is manipulated.BTW.Bogdanovich Jovovich is clearly an Serbian Name.Remember the Director “Peter Bogdanovich” from USA.He has Serbian Heritage too.And again the same Name.This was only for Example.

Montenegro is in real an former Province from Serbia.But for political Reasons it becomes an State.In Montenegro lived since Centurys over 250.000 Ethnic Serbs.So how the Father of Milla can be Montenegrin ????Even on her own Website its clerly stated that her Father is an Serb.

I always knew, she has a jugoslavian name, but I’m surprised,
that her mother is russian. Interesting, how works such marriage? I know jugoslavian people, they always
tell “a husband is a lord at home”, but russian women should
be rather dominant themselves. I bet, her parents are divorce.

Russian/German women are so exotic. I sometimes don’t like her but generally I do. she was a very attractive young girl in Blue Lagoon 2. I think that, like with Zooey Deschanel, a lot of her popularity stems from her eye color. if those women had brown eyes (and I love brown eyes), they probably sadly wouldn’t be as popular. But Milla also has very striking Euro looks too her with attractively collides with the American definition of beauty, which is more like one of the Disney Channel girls or Kristen Bell, all of whom are totally Milla’s opposite.

Yes, her mom was born and lived in Ukraine but ethnic Russian! Loginova Russian name and when Milla on was in Ukraine she said on Russian language: “I’m from Kiev, yes. Ukrainian. But mother is Russian.” and also she joked: ‘”Go from here a Russian girl, this is Ukraine!” lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNKsmppxVdI and also her official site http://www.millaj.com/bio.shtml
